UPDATE
ON THE
ONTARIO
DRESSING ROOM POLICY
|
|
BACKGROUND
The THREE (3) Hockey Canada Members in Ontario - Hockey
Eastern Ontario (HEO), Hockey Northwestern Ontario
(HNO), the Ontario Hockey Federation (OHF),
have had a dressing room policy since 2009 and was updated in
2016. Both policies were created in conjunction with the Ontario
Human Rights Tribunal. In 2023, Hockey Canada passed a new Dressing
Room Policy that was not in complete agreement with the Ontario
Dressing Room Policy.
TODAY
Hockey Canada and the 3 Ontario Members have worked
together to draft a new policy that meets both the Ontario Human
Rights Tribunal requirements and satisfies the new Hockey Canada
Dressing Room Policy. The new Ontario Dressing Room Policy
applies to Minor Hockey Associations at both recreational and
competitive programming. It does not apply to Junior Hockey.
NEXT
On February 1, 2024, the new hybrid policy will be in
place and is another step towards creating welcoming and inclusive
spaces for all players, while enhancing the safety of Minor Hockey
participants through proper supervision and minimum clothing expectations.

The Implementation Guidelines and Frequently Asked
Questions documents are being finalized based on feedback during the
calls to further assist coaches and associations in the
implementation of the policy. They will be sent out prior to the
implementation date of February 1, 2024.
